THIS  was  the  last,  hut  not  least,  of  the  separate  schools  to  be  added  to  this  great  University  of  Kansas.  Its 
birth  dates  back  to  1901,  but  not  until  1905,  was  a course  offered  whereby  a student  could  receive  an  M. 
D.  degree,  for,  prior  to  this  time,  only  a two-year  preparatory  course  was  offered  in  this  institution.  The 
necessity  for  hospitals,  clinics  and  other  facilities  did  not  justify  the  establishment  of  this  school  at  Lawrence, 
consequently  the  University  of  Kansas  enveloped  the  Kansas  City  Medical,  the  Medico-Chirugical,  and  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  all  schools  of  Kansas  City,  thereby  bringing  into  existence  one  of  the  best 
medical  colleges  of  the  United  States  today  and  with  prospects  that  bid  fair  to  make  it  one  of  the  best  in  the 
world.  Yet,  doubtless  the  existence  of  this  department  is  indirectly  due  to  the  generosity  of  Dr.  Bell,  who  gave 
valuable  property  for  the  establishment  of  these  buildings  in  Rosedale.  Of  the  schools  united,  perhaps,  the 
Kansas  City  Medical  deserves  more  honor  and  credit  for  her  contribution  to  this  enterprise,  for,  besides  giving 
over  some  thirty  bright-minded  students,  she  has  contributed,  by  far,  more  professors  of  the  present  faculty 
than  both  the  other  schools  combined.  The  other  colleges  have  lent  their  share  of  support  and  may  justly  be 
proud  of  their  representation. 

Kansans  may  truly  take  pride  in  their  University,  and  feel  sure  that  the  Medical  School  will  never  be  found 
wanting  in  maintaining  the  high  standard  of  this  noble  institutions.

George  Howard  Hoxie,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  M.  D. 

Dean  of  Clinical  Department 

TO  be  dean  of  a medical  school  necessitates  the  patience  of  Job,  the  wisdom  of  a Socrates,  and  the  tact  of 
Dr.  Hoxie.  His  administration  thus  far  has  been  filled  with  adversities,  for  besides  the  routine  work  en- 
countered in  the  deansliip,  he  has  been  compelled  to  conduct  the  school  this  year  with  but  little  financial 
support,  which  fact  has  been  a great  handicap  to  the  accomplishment  of  his  labors.  In  the  capacity  of  dean, 
we  are  proud  of  Dr.  Hoxie,  and  as  a refined,  scientific  gentleman  of  culture  we  take  no  less  pride.  In  the  future 
lives  of  the  members  of  the  class  of  ’06,  we  shall  always  count  it  a pleasure  to  point  to  our  dean  as  an  able  ex- 
ecutive of  his  department. 


Miss  E.  Maud  Kibbie 

Secretary  to  the  Dean 

IT  is  a pleasant  duty  to  rehearse  some  of  the  many  commendable  features  that  have  characterized  this  young 
lady  as  a universal  favorite  with  the  K.  U.  Medics.  Her  work  has  not  been  a continual  round  of  pleasure, 
but  full  of  trials  and  tribulations,  yet  at  all  times  she  has  proven  herself  equal  to  the  occasion  and  by  her 
soft  words  has  turned  away  wrath.  To  make  a long  story  short,  Miss  Kibbie  is  the  ideal  lady  for  the  position 
she  now  has  the  honor  of  holding.  She  is  pleasant,  courteous,  and  capable,  and  has  won  the  respect  and 
esteem  of  every  one  with  whom  she  comes  in  contact.  The  outgoing  class  shall  always  cherish  a kindly  feeling 
for  this  admirable  young  lady.

IT  is  well  nigh  onto  four  years  ago  since  this  class  came  to  the  school  of  ^Esculapius,  all  of  us  filled  with  am- 
bition and  some  of  us — to  use  the  slang  phrase — filled  with  prunes.  Some  of  us  were  blessed  with  papas 
with  a good  bank  account,  while  others  were  lucky  that  we  wore  the  same  sized  collars  and  socks  as  our 
paternal  ancestors  and  even  while  the  neckties  and  hat  he  wore  were  landmarks  at  home,  they  were  strangers  to 
our  classmates  and  their  use  helped  much  to  lengthen  the  existence  of  our  slender  purse. 

It  took  a number  of  us  some  time  to  get  “city  broke,”  but  the  majority  of  us  are  completely  broke  now. 
Some  of  our  professors  who  have  been  disposed  to  hold  out  a favorable  prognosis  for  us,  have  at  times  told 
us:  “The  future  is  yours;” — ordinarily  that  might  afford  consolation,  but  some  of  us  have  put  so  heavy  a 
mortgage  on  our  future  to  “our  uncle”  that  it  will  be  some  time  before  we  get  possession  of  it  again. 

When  we  came  here  some  of  us  were  so  green  we  “blew  out  the  gas,”  but  now  that  we  are  leaving,  it’s  only 
fair  to  say  that  we  “blowed  in  everything.” 

According  to  David  Harutn  a dog  must  have  a certain  amount  of  fleas  to  keep  him  from  forgetting  he  is  a 
dog.  It  is  likewise  true,  that  a Medic  gets  just  so  much  Hades  for  his  faults  from  the  public  to  remind  him 
that  he  is  a Medic;  yet  after  all,  we  are  not  anxious  to  have  our  meaning  construed  that:  the  best  a Medic  can 
get  is  the  “worst  of  it.” 

’Tis  not  often  that  the  poor  Medic  gets  close  enough  to  the  stage  of  a theatre  to  even  hear  the  orchestra,  to 
say  nothing  of  inspecting  each  component  part,  but  once  is  enough  to  observe  the  wide  abyss  that  separates  the 
first  and  second  violinists  of  that  august  body.  One  is  all  pomp,  fire,  bustle  and  enthusiasm  personified.  Now 
waving  his  bow  high  in  the  air,  he  silently,  yet  safely,  guides  the  exquisite  harmony;  he  has  that  magnificent 
musical  machine  so  profoundly  under  his  control  that  he  can  hasten  or  slow  its  movements  by  the  slightest 
wave  of  his  hand;  and  again  when  he  brings  his  violin  to  his  shoulder,  with  what  ease  does  he  take  the  leading 
strain,  high  above  the  crash  of  sounds,  above  the  shrill  trumpet,  the  braying  horns,  the  ear-piercing  notes  of 
the  fife,  and  all  the  thunders  of  the  orchestra,  and  distinct  and  clear  are  heard  the  notes  of  the  first  violin. 

Dressed  in  unimpeachable  broadcloth,  with  kids  and  immaculate  linen,  stamping  his  foot,  wagging  his 
head,  nodding  earnestly  to  right  and  left  and  beating  time  with  mad  energy,  he  enters  heart  and  soul  into  the 
melody  oblivious  of  all  else  because  he  is  the  leader — he  plays  first  violin. 

Standing  near  him  on  a lower  platform  and  before  a lower  inusic-rest  is  a patient,  sad-faced,  care-worn  man 
who  saws  quietly  on  the  strings  with  rather  the  air  of  a hired  man  than  of  the  enthusiast.  His  eyes  you  never 
see  in  a fine  frenzy  rolling,  glancing  from  heaven  to  earth  and  earth  to  heaven,  nor  do  you  see  his  muscles  in  a 
spasm  of  ecstacy,  he  never  wags  his  head  nor  stamps  his  foot;  but  steadily  and  conscientiously  he  pours  a rich 
undercurrent  of  harmony  into  the  music  which  few  hear,  fewer  care  for,  but  without  which,  losing  the  charm 
of  contrast,  it  would  be  as  dreary  as  the  droning  of  a bag-pipe.  With  his  eye  fixed  upon  the  notes  he  diligently 
scrapes  away,  not  with  enthusiasm,  not  by  the  inspiration  of  a master,  but  by  the  reflection  that  he  is  exchang- 
ing his  notes  for  dollars;  and  that  with  each  quaver  he  earns  so  much  bread  and  butter  for  his  family.  Yet  this 
musical  machine  that  plays  its  part  so  mechanically  with  apparently  as  little  interest  in  the  result  as  a calculat- 
ing machine  in  the  solution  of  a mathematical  problem,  may  have  been  endowed  by  nature  with  as  much  genius 
and  fire'as  that  thundering  Jupiter  of  the  orchestra,  the  leader;  but  alas  ! he  plays  second  fiddle. 

The  world  is  an  orchestra  and  men  are  players.  All  are  playing  some  part  in  the  production  of  life’s  har- 
mony, some  wielding  the  baton,  fired  by  the  sympathy  of  onlookers;  others  feeling  that  they  are  but  second 
fiddlers,  humbled  by  conscious  inferiority  and  drudging  on  through  their  despicable,  monotonous  task. 

This  simile  applies  to  the  study  of  medicine.  The  Doctor  of  Medicine  truly  playing  the  first  violin — the 
student,  even  though  a few  months  from  graduation,  is  playing  second  fiddle  until  the  “grand  finale”  of  this 
magnificent  harmony.  Force  of  habit  has  made  the  expression,  “Yes,  Doctor,”  so  mechanical  to  the  Medic 
that  he  is  almost  afraid  to  say  his  soul  is  his  own.  Yet  this  self-acknowledged  expression  of  inferiority  does  not 
signify  that  the  acknowledgment  is  made  with  reluctance;  the  fact  that  this  wide  abyss  separating  student  and 
instructor  does  exist,  is  because  the  boys  have  deemed  it  a necessity  and  their  choice. 

Even  now,  through  these  apparent  great  tribulations,  we  have  reached  the  pinnacle  we  have  been  striving 
for  during  these  four  years,  having  now  a permanent  place  in  the  real  commencement  of  our  professional  lives 
and  entitled  to  a place  in  the  history  of  the  first  graduating  class  of  this  great  University  of  Kansas,  we  are  not 
pregnant  with  the  joy  we  have  anticipated,  but  quit  the  dear  old  school  with  much  reluctance.  The  magic  spirit 
of  fellowship  will  in  our  future  restore  the  shattered  gossamer  of  affection  we  now  bear  one  another.  We  do 
not  feel  that  we  are  escaping  punishment  and  torture  by  this,  our  leave  of  college,  but  rather  that  it  is  the 
ceasing  of  an  exquisite  music.

CLIFFORD  C.  NESSELRODE,  M.  D. 

Business  Manager  Medical  Department  ’06  Jayhawker. 

When  Cliff  started  off  with  the  bunch,  he  wasn’t  a 
hit  with  the  boys.  He  had  been  teaching  school  so 
long  that  the  "I  have  spoken”  element  of  his  make-up 
was  quite  conspicuous  in  his  recitations.  He  finally 
came  to  earth  and  is  now  a thorough  student,  and  en 
thusiastic  Medic  with  symptoms  of  a malignant  love. 

ARTHUR  C.  DILDINE,  D.  D.  S.,  M.  D. 

“Mother  Dildine”  is  “one  of  the  best,  if  not  the 
best,”  in  the  class  and  “has  his  nerve  all  the  time.” 
Artie  was  educated  in  Pennsylvania  and  came  West  to 
specialize  in  all  the  branches  of  medicine.  He  occa- 
sionally gets  rough,  and  says,  “Pshaw,”  but  Arthur  is 
a good  student,  and  a man  of  excellent  habits. 


FRANCIS  ELMER  WILHELMI,  M.  D. 

“Meggy”  is  not  lazy,  nor  has  he  ’’congenital  fa- 
tigue,” but  he’s  just  been  around  the  Missouri  Pacific 
hospital  too  long.  He  is  a pseudo-papa  of  the  class. 
He  is  a Kansas  product  from  Winchester.  The  fact 
that  he  is  now  assistant  to  Dr.  J.  W.  Perkins  is  evi- 
dence of  his  ability. 

HUGH  DUNCAN  McGAUGHEV,  M.  D. 
Aesculapian  Society. 

Here  is  a fellow  who  has  entered  heart  anil  soul 
into  the  study  of  his  profession.  He  prepared  at  Be- 
loit. His  home  is  in  Jewell,  Kansas.  McGaughev  is 
deserving  of  all  the  success  that  may  come  to  him. 

MORRIS  CLIFFORD  HUTTON.  M.  D. 

Prior  to  his  entrance  to  the  Medical  Department  of 
the  University  of  Kansas,  Mr.  Hutton  had  been  a 
student  in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in 
Kansas  City,  Kansas.  The  essentials  that  go  to  make 
up  a good  Medic  are  not  lacking  in  him. 

MILTON  B.  SHERRARD,  M.  D. 

Before  beginning  the  strenuous  medical  life,  was  a 
student  at  the  Kansas  State  Normal  School  at  Emporia. 
Dr.  Sherrard  deserves  no  little  credit  for  his  effort  and 
success  in  educating  himself  for  his  chosen  profession.

GEORGE  CHARLES  HENRY  ERNST,  A.B.;  M.D. 

When  Ernst  first  came  to  us,  we  regarded  him  with 
no  little  degree  of  suspicion,  for  he  acknowledged 
himself  the  son  of  a minister.  In  spite  of  this  and  the 
fact  that  he  has  owned  a drug  store,  the  only  thing 
that  can  be  said  derogatory  to  his  character  is.  that  he 
has  periodic  attacks  of  love. 

HOWARD  ALBERT  HAMILTON,  A.  B.;  M.  D' 
<t>  A 

This  gentleman  is  another  one  of  the  good  fellows 
of  the  class.  He  came  to  us  from  Park  College, 
“charged  to  the  muzzle”  with  a store  of  excellent 
knowledge.  He  is  an  exceptionally  good  companion, 
a “true  blue,”  as  well  as  a good  scholar. 

MELVIA  F.  AVERY,  B.  S.;  M.  D. 

Miss  Avery  received  her  education  preparatory  to 
medicine  at  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College  at  Man- 
hattan. She  is  good-natured,  and  knows  a good  deal 
of  medicine  for  a Senior.  The  only  fault  she  has  is 
“being  a woman.” 

JOHN  D.  DAVIES,  M.  D. 

<t>  A ; Chairman  Invitation  Committee;  Editor  Medical 
Department  Jayhawker  ’06;  Editor  Medical  Depart- 
ment of  The  Kansan. 

The  author  of  these  effusions  will  take  upon  him- 
self the  task  of  describing  his  career.  I began  my  life 
in  Lucas  county,  Iowa,  but  have  been  claiming  Con- 
cordia as  my  home.  I have  never  been  an  “also  ran,” 
and  I know  I have  some  friends  in  school  for  I can 
borrow  money  from  a lot  of  the  fellows. 

jas.  a.  McConnell,  m.  d 

Y.  M.  C.  A. 

“Mack,”  in  addition  to  carrying  his  college  work 
creditably,  has  supported  his  family.  If  use  breeds 
habit  in  a man,  this  fellow  is  well  on  the  highway  to 
success,  for  he  is  sincere,  industrious,  and  a gentle- 
man 

HERBERT  R.  KING,  M.  D. 

Jasper  county,  Mo.,  has  reason  to  be  proud  of  her 
King.  There  have  been  times  when  he  has  ideas  of 
leaving  us  to  join  the  Medics  of  sunny  California.  Per- 
haps a certain  little  lady  in  Jasper  could  explain  why 
he  hasn’t.  Herbert  is  a universal  favorite  in  his  quiet 
wav.

dale  LUCAS,  M.  D. 

4*  A ; President  Senior  Class,  ’06;  Vice-President,  first 
semester;  Assistant  Editor  Medical  Department  ’06 
Jayhawker. 

Perhaps  of  the  whole  class  this  “wise  old  owl”  is 
the  most  popular.  He  is  not  an  Apollo  in  personal 
beauty  but  to  know  him  is  to  have  the  deepest  respect 
and  regard  for  him. 

FRANK  ESTELL  CASBURN,  M.  D. 

“Elder  Casburn” — the  Beau  Brummel,  and,  by 
all  odds,  the  handsomest  man  in  school,  was  a minis- 
ter. Why  he  gave  up  the  redemption  of  souls  to  save 
bodies,  is  not  for  us  to  say.  He  is  a good  Indian  from 
the  word  go,  always  pleasant,  courteous,  and  a gentle- 
man at  all  times. 

JOHN  ADAM  CRABB,  M.  D. 

Vice-President  Class,  ’06;  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Dr.  Crabb  was  for  five  years  county  clerk  of  Smith 
county.  He  evidently  has  all  of  the  politics  out  of 
his  system  by  now.  He  is  quite  popular  among  his 
classmates,  and  well  worthy  of  his  honors. 

ABRAM  COMINGS  GRIFFITHS,  M.  D. 

<t>  Z;  Treasurer  Class ’06;  Invitation  Committee. 

“Griff”  was  educated  at  Lawrenceville  School  in 
New  Jersey  prior  to  his  course  at  Princeton.  While 
he  has  an  ardent  love  for  the  tender  sex  and  ai  tomo- 
biles,  he  has  succeeded  in  equipping  himself  with 
quite  enough  knowledge  of  medicine  to  become  a suc- 
cessful practitioner. 

ALFRED  LESLIE  CASBURN,  M.  D. 

Learned  some  four  years  ago  of  the  wondrous 
changes  our  K.  U.  Medical  Course  had  wrought  upon 
man  and  hastened  at  once  from  his  quiet  rural  home 
at  Ferris,  Illinois,  to  the  scene  of  action.  He  is  an 
exceedingly  fine-looking  man,  and  is  well  equipped 
with  medical  knowledge. 

HAROLD  PHILIPP  KUHN,  A.  B.,  M.  D. 

B 0 11 ; Track  Team,  ’06;  Chairman  Cap  and  Gown 
Committee. 

Kuhn  brought  his  “S”  from  Stanford  and  earned 
a “K”  in  the  recent  track  meet  by  winning  handily 
over  the  high  hurdles.  His  scholastic  achievements 
are  among  the  highest  in  the  class,  and  he  has  done 
several  months  of  hospital  work  in  surgery  and  neu- 
rology. He  is  a typical  college  man. 


26 


T.  A.  PROUSE,  A.  M.;  M.  D. 

President  Class,  first  semester. 

This  broadminded,  earnest  man,  is  certainly  self- 
made,  having  unceasingly  earned  his  way  to  his  A.  M. 
and  then  to  his  M.  D.  He  is  a student,  a consistent 
church  worker  in  the  slums,  and  besides,  supports  his 
family  in  this  city,  where  he  has  already  located. 

DANIEL  LAURENCE  HEIDRICK,  M.  D. 

Dan  came  from  Madison  about  four  years  ago.  He 
was  always  a good  man,  even  before  his  marriage, 
which  occurred  his  first  year  of  school.  College  life 
with  him  has  been  a self-limited  disease  with  few  ex- 
acerbations to  mark  the  difficult  epochs. 


MILDRED  CURTIS,  M.  D. 

This  young  lady  comes  to  us  from  Neosho  Falls, 
and  carries  all  her  learning  with  a dignity  becoming 
an  M.  I),  She  has  done  her  share  in  upholding  the 
brilliance  of  the  feminine  portion  of  the  class,  and 
proven  herself  worthy  the  respect  of  all.  We  are  one 
in  wishing  her  happiness  and  prosperity. 

STANLEY  HERSCHEL  GATCH,  M.  D. 

When  Gateh  was  still  in  his  boyish  youth,  some 
heartless  wretch  induced  him  to  believe  himself  a vo- 
calist. He  is  rational  on  all  other  subjects,  is  a pro- 
gressive. agreeable  classmate,  with  but  this  one  great 
fault,  he  does  not  realize  that  he  is  a delusion  and  a 
snare. 

GROVER  C.  SHERRARD,  M.  D. 

Grover  is  a product  of  Republic  City.  He,  like  his 
brother,  has  attained  his  wisdom  by  the  “sweat  of  his 
brow;”  having  to  provide  the  “long  green”  by  his 
own  efforts.  His  college  record  is  one  of  which  he 
may  be  proud. 

MOHLER  JACOB  MILLER,  M.  D. 

Ere  the  base  laws  of  our  servitude  began,  Miller 
was  comfortably  absorbing  nourishment  from  the 
vicinity  around  McPherson,  Kansas.  Miller  has  come 
to  the  front  wonderfully  during  the  past  year,  is  a 
good  student,  a hard  worker,  and  a loyal  ’06  man. 


27 


THOMAS  J.  HOWELL,  M.  D. 

“Old  Bob  Goudy”  is  a confirmed  “batch,”  yet 
contrary  to  the  type,  Bob  is  optimistic.  He  is  said  to 
have  declared  that  he  had  made  a specialty  of  scalds 
and  burns  with  a view  to  his  welfare  in  the  next  world. 
He  is  going  to  Germany  to  further  pursue  the  study  of 
medicine.  He  is  quick-witted  and  has  all  the  ele- 
ments of  good  fellowship. 

FRED  E.  ACKERSON,  M.  D. 

Claims  Kansas  City  as  his  home.  He  is  a “shark,” 
always  pretending  to  expect  a knock-out  at  each  ex- 
amination, and  invariably  finishing  with  a top-notch 
grade.  Fred  has  devoted  most  of  his  attention  to  dis- 
eases of  the  eye,  with  the  idea  of  making  that  branch 
his  specialty. 


JOHN  HENRY  LEE  STAPLES,  M.  D. 

John  is  what  might  be  called  neutral,  or  slightly 
alkaline  in  reaction.  He  came  from  Nelson  in  Saline 
county.  John  Henry  Lee  Staples  will  probably  never 
cover  himself  with  glory  as  a text-book  author,  but 
may  do  quite  well  as  a practitioner. 

FRANK  M.  DENSLOW,  M,  D. 

“ Doc”  Denslow  is  one  of  the  brightest  men  of  the 
graduating  class.  Besides  being  a good  student,  he  is 
a mixer.  He  has  been  an  interne  at  St.  Margaret’s 
Hospital  during  the  past  eight  months.  Frank  claims 
Kansas  City  as  his  home. 


CHAS.  NELSON  SLAYBAUGH,  M.  D. 

Chief  of  Obstetric  Staff. 

“Sammy”  will  never  set  the  world  on  fire  as  a 
genius,  but  as  a man,  he  will  instill  much  warmth  in 
those  who  are  fortunate  enough  to  be  counted  as  his 
friends.  Sammy  is  a graduated  trained  nurse,  and  a 
dandy,  too. 

HENRY  HINDS  JOHNSON,  M.  D. 

Has  distinguished  himself  as  the  sad-faced  Medic 
with  an  ardent  love  for  “passionate  sox.”  He  came 
from  Wayland,  Mich.,  and  is  a nice,  quiet  fellow.  We 
do  not  know  the  direction  of  his  ambitions  in  medi- 
cine, but  hope  he  may  attain  all  the  success  he  merits. 


28 


HERBERT  D.  STERRETT,  M.  D. 

Dr.  Sterrett  came  from  Norcatur,  Kansas,  where 
he  has  been  engaged  in  active  practice,  since  his  grad- 
uation from  Ainsworth  Medical  School  at  St.  Joseph, 
Mo.  He  is  a congenial  gentleman  of  sterling  worth. 


J.  A WEISS,  M.  D. 

This  distinguished-looking  individual  received  his 
“prep”  in  a butcher  shop  at  Sabetha,  Kansas,  and 
was  much  disappointed  that  no  credit  was  due  him  in 
the  dissecting  room.  He  is  a man  thoroughly  compe- 
tent to  converse  with  the  instructor  on  any  subject 
save  the  one  under  discussion. 


FRED  CHARLES  TYREE,  M.  D.;  ll>  A 

If  there  has  been  a class  fight,  a scuttle  or  a ban- 
quet that  this  fellow  has  missed,  keep  it  quiet,  for  it 
would  break  his  heart.  He  is  a man,  mentally,  mor- 
ally and  physically — a fellow  we  are  glad  to  call  friend. 


FREDERICK  WILLIAM  SHAW,  M.  I). 

“ Pshaw,”  we  hardly  know  what  to  say  of  him,  for 
so  much  good  can  be  said  that  it’s  just  a question  of 
the  best.  He  is  a good  student,  ambitious  and  en- 
thusiastic. He  has  received  part  of  his  education 
across  the  water,  and  contemplates  concluding  it 
there. 


E.  E.  SPARR,  M.  D. 

“Our  Earl”  bears  the  distinction  of  being  the  light- 
weight champion  of  Conway  Springs.  Sparr  is  a nice- 
looking  fellow,  pleasant  and  refined,  and  will  certainly 
develope  into  an  excellent  practitioner  of  his  chosen 
profession. 

CLAUDE  L.  SHULTZ,  M.  I). 

Despite  his  intelligent  appearance,  he  matriculated 
in  the  Kansas  City  Medical  College.  He  came  from 
Caney,  Kansas,  and  says  if  patients  are  not  numerous 
in  his  field  of  practice,  he’s  going  “ broke.” 


WILLIAM  FRANKLIN  MARKLEY,  M.  D. 

Markley  has  been  self-supporting  during  all  his 
college  course,  and  has  made  excellent  grades.  He 
has  the  distinction  of  being  the  only  man  awarded  ioo 
per  cent  in  the  pathological  branch  of  medicine.  He 
has  been  too  busy  to  be  sociable,  but  his  earnest  efforts 
and  ability  have  won  respect. 

JOSEPH  HAMILTON  CRAMPTON,  M.  D. 

Joe  drifted  in  from  the  West  about  four  years  ago. 
He  is  a modern  Hercules  and  goodness  personified. 
His  home  is  at  Colfax,  Washington,  and  he  intends 
going  back  west  to  practice. 


JESSE  H.  BALDWIN,  B.  S.,  M.  I). 

Y.  M.  C. A 

Takes  himself  too  seriously,  (but  no  one  else  does). 
He  is  one  of  these  real  good  boys  who  never  gets  into 
a clique  that  can  thoroughly  appreciate  his  talent. 
He  contemplates  going  into  foreign  missionary  service 
where  he  can  deal  in  religion  as  a side  line. 

FRED  D.  LOSE.  M.  D.; 

A 

He  is  a living  proof  of  changes  wrought  by  medi- 
cine upon  an  embryo.  When  Fred  “drive  in”  from 
the  rural  district,  he  lacked  much  of  being  a “town 
boy”.  Lose  is  a fine  fellow.  He  falters  sometimes  on 
grammatical  construction,  but  never  in  an  opportunity 
to  do  one  a kindness. 

JOHN  HENRY  ROSE,  M.  D. 

'Tis  not  for  mortals  to  command  success,  but  this 
fellow  is  big  enough  to  get  his.  He  is  a heavy  weight 
of  205  pounds,  but  particularly  heavy  as  a student. 
Rose  is  an  affable,  congenial  associate,  and  well  liked 
by  his  classmates 

FREDERICK  ANTONIO  HUMMER,  M.  D. 

Is  a misnomer,  for  he  has  caused  no  particular 
consternation  in  college  life.  When  he  gets  his  “gala 
rags”  all  on,  he  looks  like  the  hind  end  of  bad  hick. 
While  there  is  no  halo  around  his  head,  we  hope  that 
Hummer  will  do  well.

MELVIN  B.  ROBERTS,  M.  D. 

The  Doctor  has  never  been  awarded  any  honors  for 
personal  beauty,  nor  as  a prodigy.  He  is  just  an  or- 
dinary medic  with  a few  salient  features  that  would 
justify  his  being  crowned  as  more  than  a man  among 
men.  Roberts  is  a good  student  and  an  earnest  fellow. 

VERNE  HENRY  BANTLEON,  M.  D. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  has  never  been  suspected, 
much  less  accused,  of  imbibing  too  freely  of  our  fount 
of  knowledge,  so  we  will  infer  that  he  is  a man  of 
temperate  habits.  He  came  to  K.  U.  from  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Kansas  City. 

HORACE  P.  MAHAN,  M.  D. 

“Irish”  hails  from  Mineral,  he  serves  as  a fit  ex- 
ample to  prove  the  productive  power  of  the  State. 
The  fact  that  Mahan  is  congenial  and  nice-looking, 
along  with  his  ability  as  a medicine  man,  should  in- 
sure his  success. 

EDGAR  L.  DAVIS,  M.  D. 

The  business  manager  of  this  section  had  a good 
deal  of  talking  to  do  to  get  this  picture.  Davis  is  en- 
thusiastic, and  capable  of  gushing  forth  great  bursts 
of  eloquence  with  an  infinite  deal  of  nothing  as  a 
theme.  Yet  Davis  isn’t  a bad  fellow — he  is  obliging, 
courteous  and  a good  student. 


EDWIN  C.  BUTTON,  B.  S.,  M.  D. 

Aesculapian  Society. 

Preparatory  to  his  medical  education,  was  a student 
at  Central  Normal  College.  He  is  a quiet  unassuming 
fellow,  seldom  “button-in”;  a good  student,  a con- 
genial associate  and  a through  and  through  Kansas 
man . 


GUY  J.  RUSSELL,  M.  D. 

Guy  has  at  no  time  been  completely  submerged  in 
honors — he  has  at  all  times  managed  to  progress  with 
credit.  Russell  is  a married  man,  therefore  his  con- 
duct is  above  reproach.  We  hope  Russell  will  soon 
be  president  of  the  bank  in  the  town  in  which  he 
locates.

JESSE  N.  HILL,  M.  D. 

Secretary  of  Class  ’06;  Assistant  Business  Manager 
Medical  Department  ’06  Jayhawker. 

Jesse  is  not  from  prohibition  Kansas, — he  is  too 
“loose  about  his  joints.”  At  the  kick-off.  his  amebic 
movement  did  not  warrant  a creditable  finish,  but 
when  he  got  his  “pseudopodia”  working  properly  it 
was  not  long  before  he  struck  quite  a gait.  Hill  is 
the  best  student  in  the  class,  and  one  of  its  most  con- 
genial fellows. 

FRED  R.  BERRY,  M.  D. 

We  hope  this  Berry  will  not  be  plucked  during  the 
examination  season,  for  he  is  really  a good  hearted, 
jovial,  classmate,  and  while  he  is  but  an  average 
student,  he  will  doubtless  do  well  in  practice  here  in 
Kansas  City. 

J.  W.  DAVIS,  M.  D. 

Joe’s  home  address  is  Independence.  He  prepared 
at  Montgomery  County  High  School.  He  will  not 
be  embellished  with  medals  on  Commencement  Day, 
but  he  will  be  able  to  show  a creditable  college  record. 

B.  W.  J.  WORRALL,  M.  D. 

Has  made  no  K.  U.  record  that  will  cast  a radiant 
light  upon  the  future  pages  of  history.  He  has  a re- 
deeming feature,  however,  that  covers  a multitude  of 
sins,  he  is  self-supporting  and  cares  for  the  needs  of 
his  mother.  We  wish  him  success. 

W.  E.  BOOTH,  M.  D. 

As  his  name  implies,  is  a “bad  actor,”  and  he  is 
from  Texas  too.  He  is  not  particularly  “a  gun”  in 
Medicine,  vet  knows  enough  about  the  science  to  de- 
velope  into  “an  excellent  old  family  physician.” 
Booth  is  a good  fellow  and  we  hope  that  success  will 
come  to  him  in  large  packages.  . 

RONALD  R.  SMITH,  Ph.  G.,  M.  D. 

<1>  A . 

“Railroad”  Smith  hails  from  Wainego,  and  if  he 
is  as  capable  in  practice  as  he  has  shown  himself  to 
be  during  his  college  career,  his  Alma  Mater  will  have 
reason  to  feel  proud  of  her  offspring.  Ronald  has 
many  staunch  friends  in  the  class.

CHARLES  MCKINLEY,  M.  D. 

<t>  A . 

Mack  came  to  us  from  Independence,  where  he 
had  been  busy  as  a Superintendent  of  the  Public 
Knowledge  Dispensary  for  several  years.  He  is  one 
of  the  best  “all-round”  men  of  the  class. 


RALPH  CAMBERN  HENDERSON,  M.  D. 

'Tis  difficult  to  understand  how  so  much  goodness, 
good  sense  and  intellect  has  found  abode  in  this  small 
area  of  humanity.  Dr.  Henderson  graduated  several 
years  ago  from  the  Kansas  City  Medical  College,  and

CLAUDE  E.  STUMP,  M.  D. 


Claude  came  from  Caldwell,  Kansas,  with  all  the 
goodness  and  greatness  of  our  Kansas  productions. 
Stump  has  spent  much  of  his  time  with  the  depart- 
ment “Diseases  of  Children”,  yet,  we  should  not  pre- 
sume to  predict  the  direction  of  his  ambition. 


JAMES  McCULLY,  M.  D. 

Cap  and  Gown  Committee. 

Came  from  Dudley,  Iowa,  and  we  are  all  glad  he 
came,  for  it’s  good  to  be  with  “Mack”.  He  is  a 
dandy  good  fellow,  chuck-full  of  class  spirit  and  an 
aide  man  from  a professional  standpoint.

THE  GOAL 


It  is  of  prime  importance  that  the  young  physician  define  at  the  outset  of  his  career  his  goal  ; for  definite- 
ness of  purpose  differentiates  the  forceful  and  successful  man  from  the  drifting  weakling.  Therefore  my  mes- 
sage to  the  class  of  1906  is  simply,  Define  your  aims. 

The  neophyte  must  decide  between  the  claims  of  a life  of  serving  self,  and  one  of  serving  others, — between 
getting  and  giving.  He  may  seek  renown  as  a man  of  research  and  of  medical  discovery,  He  may  seek  wealth 
and  social  prestige.  He  may  even  try  for  political  honors  and  emoluments.  Or,  on  the  other  hand,  he  may 
search  out  situations  in  which  he  may  do  the  greatest  good;  and  try  in  whatsoever  location  he  find  himself  to 
make  himself  useful  and  helpful  to  those  about  him. 

Our  profession  is  essentially  an  unselfish  one;  and  that  colleague  who  uses  it  for  his  own  aggrandizement 
has  mistaken  his  calling  and  does  his  profession  great  harm.  Therefore  by  the  very  nature  of  the  responsibility 
which  we  assume  when  we  seek  and  obtain  the  title,  doctor  of  medicine,  we  pledge  ourselves  to  lives  of  minis- 
try and  service  rather  than  to  lives  of  ease  and  self-indulgence.  We  are  then  to  seek  to  better  the  health  both 
of  individuals  who  seek  us  out  and  of  the  body  politic, — which  may  seek  to  rid  itself  of  our  services  as  of  those 
who  point  out  faults.  To  fulfill  our  calling  will  demand  personal  sacrifice, — and  that  frequently  for  an  ungrate- 
ful public.  The  Spirit  of  the  Age  will  often  argue — and  prove — us  fools  for  seeking  a Utopia;  but  the  Spirit  of 
Medicine,  the  spirit  that  has  animated  our  forerunners,  bids  us  be  idealists,  to  believe  in  man  and  work  for  his 
salvation.  We  must  therefore,  if  we  would  follow  the  better  wav,  consider  ourselves  the  priests  of  medicine  and 
serve  her  with  the  devotion  of  the  Nazarite. 

For  these  reasons  your  success  cannot  be  reckoned  by  the  dollars  you  may  accumulate,  nor  by  the  fame 
you  win;  but  by  the  good  you  do  and  by  the  blessings  which  will  be  showered  upon  ycur  memory.

THE  GOAL  OF  MEDICAL  EDUCATION 


The  Ttudent’s  Viewpoint 


I have  been  asked  to  write  an  article  on  The  Goal  of  Medical  Education,  somewhat  from  the  viewpoint  of 
one  who  is  in  the  throes  of  the  process;  and  insofar  as  my  opinions  have  any  value  as  personal  or  typical,  it 
seems  to  me  that  the  goal  of  medical  education  is  inseparably  bound  up  in  the  object  of  the  medical 
sciences.  For  it  is  very  obvious  that  the  one  is  simply  the  process  of  imparting  as  completely  and  perfectly  as 
possible  the  principles  of  the  other.  And  by  the  medical  sciences  is  meant  not  any  narrow  or  restricted  knowl- 
edge of  the  human  body  in  health  and  disease,  the  agencies  which  bring  about  its  disease  and  the  agencies 
which  tend  to  restore  it  to  health,  but  that  broader  and  more  comprehensive  meaning  of  the  term  which  includes 
the  sciences  of  physics,  chemistry  and  biology  in  their  broadest  and  most  comprehensive  sense.  Like  every  true 
science  the  science  of  medicine  must  be  a comparative  science  and  the  object  of  the  confessors  to  such  a syn- 
thetic science  of  medicine  is  of  course  the  object  of  all  workers  in  the  field — the  discovery  of  truth.  As  Huxley 
said  a number  of  years  ago — and  he  spoke  as  one  with  authority,  for  he  was  a man  reviled  and  execrated  of  all 
men  simply  for  expressing  what  he  believed  to  be  the  truth — the  only  real  business  of  any  person  who  professes 
a love  for  science  is  the  discovery  for  himself  and  by  himself,  irrespective  of  any  of  his  previous  opinions  or  of 
any  other  person’s  opinions,  of  the  truth  of  any  proposition  placed  before  him — to  sit  down  before  a natural 
object  or  an  experiment  with  the  simplicity  of  a child  and  to  follow  wherever  that  object  or  experiment  led 
And  the  application  of  the  scientific  method  means  the  isolation,  complete  and  absolute,  of  medical  science  from 
every  consideration  of  whatever  sort  except  the  object  to  be  gained.  The  goal  of  medical  education  and  the 
object  of  medical  science  are  one  and  inseparable,  but  they  are  separated  from  everything  else  in  the  world. 
The  physician  may  be,  and  indeed  he  is.  peculiarly  fitted  bv  his  knowledge  to  advise  the  community  on  certain 
social  problems  which  it  must  face,  but  as  soon  as  he  employs  any  but  the  scientific  method  for  their  solution, 
so  soon  he  finds  himself  lost  on  a vast  rhetorical  sea,  without  the  shadow  of  a compass  or  the  vestige  of  a pilot. 
The  elimination  of  every  conventionally  sentimental  and  altruistic  consideration  is  the  price  that  is  paid  for 
what  comes  to  be  at  last  the  finest  sentiment  and  the  highest  altruism— the  discovery  of  truth. 

The  signs  of  such  a spirit  have  been  for  a long  time  the  signs  of  the  times.  The  vast  flood  of  current  medi- 
cal literature  is  an  indication  of  tremendous  work  that  is  going  on  in  the  laboratories  of  the  world. 

“ Out  of  the  shadows  of  night 
The  world  rolls  into  light 

It  is  daybreak  everywhere.”

THE  JUNIOR  CLASS,  twenty-eight  in  number,  is  composed  of  former  students  from  the  schools  now  asso- 
ciated together  to  form  the  clinical  department  of  the  University  course,  also  students  from  Electic  Med- 
ical University,  University  Medical  College,  and  Kirksville  College.  However,  there  is  no  faction  or 
discord  existing,  as  might  be  expected  from  such  a representation. 

We  hereby  go  on  record  as  the  first  Junior  Class  in  Medicine  in  the  University  of  Kansas.  Needless  to  say, 
we  are  proud  of  this  distinction.  We  realized  the  responsibility  of  having  our  standing  used  as  a guide  in  judg- 
ing the  succeeding  class.  Although  not  being  ideal  we  take  great  pleasure  in  knowing  there  is  nothing  of  dis- 
credit against  us. 

We  are  looking  forward  to  the  time  when  our  upper  classman,  as  such,  will  be  no  more,  and  have  begun 
practicing  that  grave  and  wise  look  which  is  so  becoming  to  a Senior  Medic. 

It  is  useless  to  say  that  nothing  gives  very  much  concern  except  the  passing  of  our  Junior  Exams,  for  we 
expect  the  Senior  work  to  be  a pipe.

THE  MEDIC  CLASS  OF  '90S  claim  the  honor  of  being  the  first  class  which  will  graduate  in  four  years 
with  an  M.  D.  degiee  from  Kansas  State  University  after  having  done  all  medical  work  in  this  school. 
Other  classes  have  received  from  one  university  in  two  years  a Certificate  of  Medicine,  but  this  custom 
was  abolished  when  we  arrived  on  the  scene,  since  we  now  have  a four  year  course. 

At  the  end  of  our  first  year  Dr.  Hoxie  tried  to  land  us  all  safely  in  the  Sophomore  Class,  but  our  number 
slowly  dwindled  and  by  the  beginning  of  our  second  year  we  were  glad  enough  to  have  recruits  from  Kansas 
City,  and  this  year  we  are  about  equal  in  numbers. 

We  had  one  girl  in  our  midst,  but  the  smells,  yowls  of  cats  and  howling  of  dogs  upset  her  nerves  and  by 
Christmas  she  was  compelled  to  go  to  a sanitarium  to  recuperate. 

Like  other  Freshmen  classes  we  passed  through  the  unhappy  days  when  we  smelt  unusual  and  were  ostra- 
cized at  our  boarding  clubs.  Indeed,  we  were  unpopular  everywhere,  for  we  left  a trail  of  formalin  behind  us. 
For  obvious  reasons  our  building  is  not  a popular  place  for  people  who  suffer  from  weak  nerves  and  strong  im- 
aginations ; the  strong  odors  which  pervade  the  halls  and  reach  the  outer  air,  the  groans  that  issue  from  the 
unconscious  victims  offered  up  on  the  altar  of  science,  and  an  occasional  leg  or  arm  carelessly  thrown  through  a 
window  in  the  exuberance  of  our  Freshmen  spirits — these  marks  of  our  ancient  and  honorable  calling  tend  to 
keep  at  a respectful  and  awesome  distance  all  but  the  initiated  and  morbidly  curious.  The  initiated,  however, 
are  not  always  exempt  from  the  base  practices  of  the  ungodly  medical  student  who  must  have  his  practical 
joke,  even  if  he  resorts  to  the  low  trick  of  implanting  a nerve  so  cleverly  in  the  thorax  as  to  deceive  his  near- 
sighted instructor,  and  cause  the  latter  to  spend  several  hours  in  the  library,  vainly  trying  to  find  the  identity 
of  the  curious  anomoly.  In  the  eyes  of  our  professors  some  of  us  may  be  “impulsive  but  not  exact,  hazy,  argu- 
mentative and  inattentive,”  but  we  are  all  loyal  to  each  other,  standing  together  and  living  up  to  our  creed  : 

i.  We  love  to  work  and  are  never  satisfied  unless  working  overtime. 

2.  We  like  the  smell  of  formalin  and  are  happy  when  our  clothes  are  saturated  with  it. 

3.  We  enjoy  giving  samples  to  visitors. 

4.  We  don’t  go  out  in  society.  We  have  our  reasons. 

5.  We  dote  on  our  medical  building,  it's  so  cosy  and  small. 

6.  We  believe  in  the  old  adage,  “ Patients  bring  success.”

SOMEHOW  in  recent  years  a rumor  got  abroad  that  to  acquire  an  M.  D.  degreeone  must  lie  as  industrious  and 
full  of  self-sacrifice  as  the  law  student.  With  these  ideas  in  mind,  there  flocked  to  the  Kansas  University 
Medical  School,  from  nearly  every  state  in  the  union,  and  from  every  walk  of  life,  professors,  preach- 
ers, farmers,  railroad  men,  discouraged  engineers,  college  graduates,  a doctor’s  wife,  in  fact  a heterogeneous 
class  fully  determined  the  pursue  the  flowery  path  that  eventually  leads  others  to  the  peaceful  beyond. 

Each  one  of  this  splendid  class,  which  has  caused  more  rattling  among  dry  bones  and  has  raised  a greater 
odor  than  any  other  class,  when  he  arrived  at  Lawrence,  brought  a trunk  full  of  the  latest  novels  with  him  and 
made  arrangements  with  the  librarian  so  that  he  could  be  sure  of  enough  reading  material  to  take  up  part  of  the 
spare  time.  He  then  sought  out  the  places  where  the  most  fun  could  really  be  had,  engaged  the  most  comfort- 
able room  he  could  find  and  quietly  settled  down  to  smoke  the  pipe  of  peace  with  the  world,  feeling  that  indeed 
to  be  a Law  student  ora  " Medic”  was  greater  than  to  be  a king. 

Scarcely  had  he  devoured  his  first  novel  when  he  was  summoned  to  the  classroom  by  the  Dean.  It  was 
then  the  superstitions  began  to  quit  the  frequented  paths  around  the  Medic  building,  for  groans  and  deep  sighs 
began  to  be  heard  which  were  identical  with  those  made  only  by  the  ghastly  spectre.  Embryos  were  traced 
across  one  slide,  then  across  another,  until  when  the  poor  Medic  sought  his  cozy  room  at  close  of  day,  the 
whole  night  he  could  see  great  flecks  of  chickens  mingled  with  a complaining  herd  of  swine,  each  of  which  he 
was  trying  his  best  to  sketch. 

One  trouble  followed  another  and  in  the  same  order  tissues,  until  his  eye  no  longer  saw  the  beautiful  face  of 
his  fairer  companion  at  his  side,  but  with  X-Ray  glances  he  was  trying  to  classify  the  different  tissues  of  her 
fair  visage.  Even  the  deepest  recesses  of  the  heart  were  soon  revealed  to  him.  The  appendix,  that  most  popu- 
lar organ  of  the  human  body,  was  very  soon  ferreted  out,  amputated,  and  carefully  bottled.  The  arm,  that 
useful  instrument  in  every  Medic’s  school  days,  no  longer  remained  a mystery. 

All  this  has  caused  the  Medic  to  grow  wiser.  His  deluded  mind  is  clearing  rapidly.  He  has  decided  that  a 
cheap  boarding  house  is  good  enough,  that  Duke’s  mixture  is  as  good  as  Yale  Club  or  cigars.  He  has  disposed 
of  his  last  late  novel  at  a sacrifice.  He  has  concluded  that  his  last-year’s  suit  will  last  over  and  he  has  quit  the 
show  entirely.  And  why  this  great  sacrifice?  Why?  In  order  that  he  may  pay  laboratory  fees.  Whenever  he 
passes  the  Law  building  he  simply  turns  his  head  in  order  that  the  old  thought  “snap”  might  not  pervade  his 
mind,  and  goes  to  his  test  tubes  and  ghastly  work-bench  with  the  beautiful  visions  of  hospital  wards,  midnight 
rides,  death-bed  scenes,  and  great  rows  of  preserved  appendixes  hovering  away  off  in  the  hazy  horizon  of  the 
distant  future.
